CCN Health provides a certified Principal Care Management (PCM) integration with August Health designed specifically for senior living communities, featuring pulse oximetry technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Pulse Oximetry for Senior Living PCM with August Health
For senior living communities running PCM through August Health, pulse oximetry addresses a critical need: balancing resident independence with clinical oversight. FDA-cleared fingertip pulse oximeters from Jumper and Bodytrace measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate. The 30-second finger clip reading transmits automatically via cellular gateway to the CCN Health platform.
Why Pulse Oximetry for Senior Living
Senior Living communities serve independent and assisted living residents aged 65+ who value autonomy while benefiting from proactive health monitoring. Pulse Oximetry is particularly relevant because:
- 30-second finger clip — simple and non-invasive
- Critical for COPD and respiratory condition management
- Automatic alerts for desaturation (SpO2 < 88%)
